The results
“While OutSource IT are ‘technical geeks’, they explain what they’re doing in plain English so it is easy for us to understand. They also don’t settle for the most obvious solution to the problem but research and fact find to ensure they give us the best solution.” Tanya Gore, General Manager, Campbell Tyson
OutSource IT was carefully selected by Campbell Tyson in 2012, after their previous IT provider failed to troubleshoot IT infrastructure problems quickly enough.
Smoothing the office move
Late 2013, after more than 30 years at their premises on the corner of Stadium Drive and Hall Street, Pukekohe, Campbell Tyson Ltd relocated to new leased premises at Wesley Street, Pukekohe.
The office move was complex because there were 55 staff, they needed to upgrade their software, change Internet Service Provider, deploy new servers, a new telephone system and it was over the Christmas and New Year holiday break. It required diligent planning.
“Everyone thought we were nuts to do it all at once. We couldn’t have asked for the project to go more smoothly! They keep us informed at all stages of the project with where they are at.” Tanya Gore, General Manager, Campbell Tyson
OutSource IT actively established relationships with all of the other providers and formed a project team to run the changes in parallel. Campbell Tyson shut their office for 3½ weeks over the holiday period, and on their first day back at work the IT system was fully functional. All staff were able to work productively with no issues. A smooth office and technology move, in one.
